Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Lane v. Lane, 2002 CanLII 2794 (ON SC):
Mr. Justice Aitken of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Jones v. Jones [2002] O.J.No.2117 found that the relationship between the parties was highly conflicted, that the husband showed lack of respect for the wife and for the court process, that the husband did not provide financial disclosure, and that the husband showed lack of concern for the children.
